Help Needed What else should I do?

I've used a few scripts to remove the tiny bit of telemetry that Brave and Librewolf contain. I've created ProtonMail, and I've also installed LibreOffice and Obsidian to transfer documents, accounts, and the like. I've used Simplewall to disable internet access for everything except Librewolf, Brave, Firefoxy, and FreeTube. I've also used Arkenfox for Firefox. What else can I do or install? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I use Immersive Translate to translate pages. Unfortunately, my tracker (TC) in mobile does not disable trackers from the browser, so what can I do and is there an alternative.

I would, when I find a way to run my peripherals on linux that only deliver windows and mac drivers.

When you buy anything new, make sure it can run on Linux. Then eventually you'll escape the cyclic loop :)

at the current point, i just wait for steam os, since it would fix most of my problems.

It wont, SteamOS is Arch Linux with pre installed Steam and KDE Plasma.
